I really like this spec. I could see this going for a lot. I'd be all over this if I weren't already a 996 c4s owner.

Even has sport technos. Wow.
Looks like the market still wants the low mileage C4S. This is good.

Maybe it's figured out that the 3.6 is an awesome engine that is pretty much bullet proof on the street if you upgrade the ims, keep the waterpump fresh, and change the oil at least 2x a year. Not to mention that due to a huge aftermarket product industry of 996 enthusiasts, every issue known to man on the M96 engine has been solved on and off the track. Many do not yet understand this point. But informed buyers do...

Or that the C4S may be the perfect all weather daily driver that is easy to maintain and drive.

Higher C4S prices will lead to higher C2 prices as more knowledgeable buyers enter the market.

The only thing that can lower gas prices is an election
gas prices, adjusted for inflation, were essentially just as high in 08 under Bush. Would you kooks please taking your political nonsense to the parking lot?

Red Herring much? Is he factually incorrect? The current admin is doing exactly what he said he was going to do when campaigning, did you forget that? Or is that information not relevant because its true therefor nonsensical to you? We've kept it light hearted but dude lighten up.

Easy boys.

I see a number of 996 Turbo's in the classifieds here for < $60k. I did not expect to see that price level again.

Default A Little Humor

I always found that watching videos of GW painting or AOC dancing on the rooftop always had a calming effect before watching the news.

I use the same technique before reading Rennlist.

Call me silly.

All sub-$60K Mezgers on Rennlist classifieds now are Cabs or Tiptronics, or both: except for that one manual coupe with 115K+ miles and a picture of an eBay motor

I'm not sure the Cabs & Tips have surpassed the $60K "range" just yet; but this raises a good question: where will the Cab-Tip Mezger finally land? +/- $100K is the real question. I don't have an easy answer, as there is no precedent for the most highly desirable Porsche motor ever mated to the least desirable configurations. Truly the Mezger Cab-Tip must forge it's own path

And right here is the latest example: Speed Yellow Mezger, buried beneath a droptop, and apparently treading water for days at $59K--

Nope, even adjusted for inflation the average price of a gallon of gas is higher today.

And gas was $2.38 in January 2021
Facts aren’t political nonsense

I've never spent $100 on a tank of gas in my life and that includes an F250

To fill my Cayenne is now $160

And if that's not Prices Keep Drifting Up WTF is??

I wish I was a rich Taycan owner instead, they're still paying Bush prices for electricity

Random question. Do you pay more or less for certain types of diesel? Summer vs Winter and etc. I’m almost at 120.00 in Miami before I left.
